    parking brake switch

    I recently bought a used 325ix with 212k miles on it, and trying to fix all the small things wrong with it. Pulling off the parking brake cover, there is 3 wires that are right near the parking brake pivot spot near the handbrake. The tabs from the connectors are pulled out of the sensor, and wondering what wires go where, or if i can find a new sensor. Any help with be excellent, unfortunately it is my first bmw, and there seems to be alot of little gremlins that i need to sort out.

    one should be hooked to the bolt holding the parking brake assembly down, if its like a 325e. it just gets grounded when the handle is pulled up. the others, I am not sure because I don't remember there being a sensor under there

    On my 85, the only things I recall in that area are one wire for the parking brake and 2 for the lamp in the rear ashtray.
